Abstract

Ochrobactrum anthropi, an emerging nosocomial pathogen associated with medical devices, presents a distinct challenge in healthcare. While prevalent in patients with invasive devices, such as central venous catheters, its occurrence in hemodialysis (HD) patients is rarely reported. This study details a case of O. anthropi bacteremia-induced septic shock in an immunocompetent, non-diabetic, post-LSCS-postpartum female undergoing intermittent dialysis at AIIMS Rishikesh, a tertiary care center in Uttarakhand, India. In addition to the clinical case, we provide a concise review of O. anthropi infections in HD patients, emphasizing the need for rapid pathogen identification, susceptibility testing, and tailored antimicrobial therapy for favorable outcomes.
